Making more dynamic compositions can be easier with the rule of thirds. Learn comics-making secrets from comics legend David Finch in his course over on Proko!
True, it is very pleasing visually, but if we're talking comic book panel, we definitely need to leave more room to the letterer, which often isn't compatible with that composition 😅
While there may be a large figure or object placed in one portion of the frame, text boxes and bubbles can overlap low interest areas in the bigger object, work around the layout and even sometimes add to the flow and composition of the panel and page. Newer artists and letterers can step on each others' toes or not know how to work around an inconsiderate collaboration partner but the rule of thirds doesn't automatically make it unworkable for a letterer. You can see it used in just about every issue of comics you read.
The figures in the scene will be dictated by the intention or narrative of the scene. This "rule" just gives us a guide on where to place them in frame.
The rule of thirds has been debated and disproven as a useful rule by many... I think placing subject on a third is not a bad idea, but placing something else on a third to balance it just makes it boring. It's better to be aware of the spacing between objects and vary them according to big, medium, small rule.
Ok, so where are your fantastic drawings my friend? Cause i can't find anything over you channel, why you don't have thousands of videos and viewers about yout technics?

This rule of thirds of course also works well in photography and it's discussed quite frequently in photography composition courses.
Good
Yeah, I was actually going to say that
It works for every kind of image.
This is a great!! I need to learn how to use it more
I think I understand now why another artist's drawings no matter how simple still look good or even correct. . . They're not my drawings. LOL

Do you just instinctively draw the concept figures or follow a certain pattern like some sort of gesture?
The figures in the scene will be dictated by the intention or narrative of the scene. This "rule" just gives us a guide on where to place them in frame.
Can this be combined with foreshortening where the "bigger" figure is for example an extended limb of the "smaller" character figure further back?
Yes!
Like they said below: Yep! The things shown on those thirds can be anything. Two people talking, one person with an arm raised and so much more!

I haven't drawn anything for more than 1 year, so how I can I be good at it again?
Art really is a illusion 😭
How to draw statue of David?
We have a bunch of videos on drawing from reference on the channel that'll hell you learn.
Then, pull up a photo of David and get down to business!
Do I hear david finch
Yep!
@ProkoTV good art tutorials btw 👌
My lines aren't that bad! Look at this crap!
These are loose thumbnail doodles to demonstrate the tip about composition.
@@ProkoTV That's what I should call my drawings from now on: "loose thumbnails doodles"
The point of the lesson is composition, not line quality.
@@Ben-bg2lp If that's what you need, go for it!
